NANCY SISKOWIC

At age 52, Nancy Siskowic earned her Master’s Degree as both a Psychiatric/Mental Health, and Women’s Health Care Nurse Practitioner. For the past 27 years her primary work has been providing hormone consults to mid-life/menopausal women as a Nationally Certified Menopause Practitioner with NAMS. Her background includes being a Mind/Body Educator with the Chopra Center for Well Being, and possessing a Certificate in the Art of Spiritual Direction from Loyola Marymount University.  She has lectured extensively nationally and locally on menopause, and was a guest on GMA’s 1996 Menopause special.

In June 2017, at age 77, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. That journey, plus the return of symptoms from stopping her hormones lead to this memoir and her ultimate return to hormone therapy.
